International Education Week, November 15-19, 2010, is a joint effort
between the US Department of Education and US Department of State in
order to promote and celebrate multiculturalism and international education.
Throughout the week, campuses, embassies, and communities are encouraged
to hold activities celebrating international education and diversity.

Temple University will kick off International week by holding A Carnival
of Cultures on Wednesday, November 17th, by celebrating international
diversity on campus. Student groups with an international theme will be given an opportunity to represent themselves by exhibiting artwork offering interactive activities such as henna or origami demonstrations or wearing traditional attire from their cultures. The activities will offer attendees a better understanding of the cultures and values for the participating student groups. During the event students will also learn of the various opportunities (e.g. student clubs, conversations partners, study abroad programs,) for internationalizing their undergraduate experience.

Groups will be given an opportunity to represent themselves (traditional/modern
music from their home country, art, national/cultural attire, etc.) on
stage in order to offer participants and attendees exposure to and increased
understanding of their culture and values.
